Global Education Beyond Immersion and Regimes of Mobility

This chapter suggests new approaches to global education based on ethnographic fieldworks of students' study abroad experience and a classroom project that challenges the binary opposition of “cultures” in the notion of immersion by drawing on the multi-scalar networks framework where individuals are seen to have multiple connections to others and by replacing the notion of “global competence” with “structural competence” that sees mundane practices as symptoms of wider structural arrangements. This chapter also challenges the double standard over mobility in “regimes of mobility” and argues for connecting study abroad and minority immigrant experiences on campus and including diverse programs within the purview of global education.

Overview of microgrid systems

<span>This research paper discusses the different types of microgrids, their structural arrangements and the technology adopted for different power management projects. It also deals with various control strategies and security plans used for optimal performance. A detailed overview of the direct current (DC) microgrid system is discussed, outlining its configurations and technical-economic aspects. Performance evaluation of microgrid carried out through various reliability codes is also provided.</span>

Management of Training Process of Team Sports Athletes During the Competition Period on the Basis of Programming (Football-Based)

The purpose of the study was to experimentally substantiate the effectiveness of organization of structural arrangements of the training process in skilled football players within the limits of the competition period on the basis of programming. Material and methodology. 18 skilled football players of “Burevisnyk” student team took part in the research. The average age of participants was 19.8 ± 5.8 years and the qualification was category 1. The programme of the competition period of the skilled football players consisted of four blocks: the first one included the types and ratios of the training work, the second one included quantitative indexes of training sessions (non-specific, specific, comprehensive) and games (educational, control, official), and the third one included the ratio of means (general preparatory exercises, special preparatory exercises, developing exercises, competitive exercises) and training loads (aerobic, mixed aerobic and anaerobic, anaerobic alactic, anaerobic glycolytic loads), and the fourth one included preparedness criteria. Results. We have redistributed training loads of various orientation by taking into account the specifics of competitive loads in skilled football players. Thus, shares of loads of the aerobic and anaerobic glycolytic orientation at the formative stage of the experiment were increased by 53.6 and 3.0 %, respectively, and the loads of the mixed and anaerobic alactic orientation were decreased by 40.0 and 3.4 %, respectively. Positive dynamics of indexes of physical (1.2-2.2 %) and functional (5.4-6.7 %) preparedness and competitive activity (3.6-23.8 %) of skilled football players at the formative phase of the experiment in comparison to the ascertaining phase was evident. Conclusions. Theoretical and methodical aspects of programming of the training process may be conditioned upon the hierarchical structure, in which smaller programmatic structural arrangements are subordinate to the larger ones; the objectives with respect to the training programmes at every phase of the training macrocycle; general and special principles of athlete training; algorithmicity, i.e. step-by-step planning and correction of managerial influences; proper selection of training means and use of training loads with different focuses in the process of training cycles; use of informational criteria for control at every phase of the training process.

Decoding LncRNAs

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been considered as unimportant additions to the transcriptome. Yet, in light of numerous studies, it has become clear that ncRNAs play important roles in development, health and disease. Long-ignored, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), ncRNAs made of more than 200 nucleotides have gained attention due to their involvement as drivers or suppressors of a myriad of tumours. The detailed understanding of some of their functions, structures and interactomes has been the result of interdisciplinary efforts, as in many cases, new methods need to be created or adapted to characterise these molecules. Unlike most reviews on lncRNAs, we summarize the achievements on lncRNA studies by taking into consideration the approaches for identification of lncRNA functions, interactomes, and structural arrangements. We also provide information about the recent data on the involvement of lncRNAs in diseases and present applications of these molecules, especially in medicine.

Structural Arrangements for Telecom Towers & Masts

Telecommunication is an important part of modern society. Nowadays, it may be clear to everyone that radio and television are of particular importance to broadcast news and information to all parts of the world, and have enormous cultural implications. With the use of technological development in the last few decades, the scope of operation and efficiency of these forms of mass media have increased daily. The facility of global coverage for transmitters has been enhanced with the use of satellites. In the meantime, it is essential to build ground transmitter antennas and construct metal and concrete towers &amp; masts to install telecom antennas to transmit waves to conventional receivers.The design and build of telecom structures is a very specialised issue, which requires the cooperation of several specialists involved in such projects including telecom, structural, geotechnical engineers, and architects. These structures can be constructed as symbolic and landmark structures in urban areas or may be erected at the top of mountains.Undoubtedly the structural aspects of telecom towers and masts should play a significant role in the mind of the architect and designer. As a result, the realisation of all architectural ideas depends on structural assessment.How should these elegant and powerful structures, which represent the power and glory of human civilization, be constructed? What are the factors influencing their design and locations? What factors impact their effective height, and the answers to these questions and many others, have been examined in this book.The present book consists of 12 chapters and is in Persian. The evolution of communication technology is discussed in the first chapter. In the subsequent chapters of the book, the types of telecom structures, as well as the antenna array and radiation patterns, have been described concisely. Moreover, in Chapters 4, 5, and 6, the construction and the technical issues of the antennas, as well as the basic structures supporting them, have been discussed in detail. The fundamentals of the structural design of the telecom towers and masts have been explained in Chapters 9 and 10, and examples of a few existing towers and masts have been examined. At the end of the book, a glossary of antennas and related equipment has been added for the use of the readers.The 2nd edition of the book ‘Structural Arrangements for Telecom Towers &amp; Masts’ was published by Noavar Publications in 2019.

Productivity Theory for Industrial Engineering

Engineering is solving the pivoted problems of the state economy that are the productivity of industry and the quality of the output product. The solution to these problems is seeing by the intensification of the technological process and its structural arrangements. The intensification of the technological process has limitations due to its physics of execution. The structural arrangements of the process are limited by the technical indices. Both limitations depend on numerous physical, technical, and economic constraints. Finding the optimal solution for the pivoted problems of the industry depends on the tactical and strategic goals of the production economics. Both goals depend on the marketing environment. The tactical goal of the production process is solving by the optimization of its technological process and structural arrangements by the criterion of the maximal productivity rate of the physical process. The strategic goal is solving by the optimization of its production process by the criterion of the minimal production cost. Productivity theory considers physical productivity and gives the solution for the tactical goals of industrial engineering
